It is an autoimmune disease that causes tumors to grow on my endocrine glands including a rare thyroid cancer called Medullary cancer. My grandmother and mother also have the disorder. I have joint problems and muscle weakness associated with the disorder and I find that I get fatigued quicker than my friends. I get support through the AMEND (Association of Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Disorders) and the Thyca (Thyroid Cancer Survivor's Association) FB pages and their web sites. I have intracranial hypertension and Nicholas has a rare brain tumor called hypothalamic harmatoma. But Nicholas does not let that get in the way. He is only in 1st grade, reads on the middle 4th grade level, and is in gifted classes! We couldn't be more proud. We support rare disease day because we know what it's like to live with them. And we would love to find a cure for them all!! He is delayed, and still is experiencing seizures. But Mark is a joy, and has the most beautiful smile.

On 2/1. 2/2. 01. 3, I woke up at 2 am with the worst headache imaginable. To date, even with medication; this headache has never gone away. I have lost all of the peripheral vision in my right eye. With the vision problems and medication I am afraid to drive and have not for over six months now. This rare disease keeps me from being the wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt, friend, etc. I went to Seattle, WA for neutron beam radiotherapy in November and December. I am back in Atlanta, and now I am under the care of Dr. Charles Moore of Emory University Hospital! If it hadn't been for my private patient advocate, Donna Fisher Cummins, doing the research and leading me to Emory, I would not have had the appropriate treatment. People need to be aware of their options for treatment before jumping in to the first one offered, especially if it is a rare disease! I was paired with my lovely Lucie through the wonderful people at Who. IRun. 4. com, which pairs those of us who are blessed to be able to run and pair them with someone who is not able too. Lucie is a beautiful young lady with AHC. I feel blessed everyday that I have Lucie in my life and that I can run for her and dedicate my energy to her. I love the UK and hope to visit one day and possibly meet her in person! We are currently in first stages of bone marrow transplant process with Cincinati Children's Hospital. Aiden has Eosinophilic Esophagitis. He loves books and school. He has had a rough 5 years but he takes it in stride and there are still lots of smiles and fun.

On February 2. 8, Rare Disease Day, Connexion Healthcare provided a free luncheon for employees. This disorder can cause many issues with the human body. Because of this disorder he has had Type 1 PPB (lung cancer) and bilateral cystic nephroma as well as a recurrence of it. Elliott was diagnosed with cystic nephroma when he was 9 months old and eventually diagnosed with DICER1 and PPB at 1. He has had his left kidney removed, part of his right kidney removed (twice) and a cyst in his lungs. He has been through a lot but that has not stopped him from being a happy two year old boy. My husband was diagnosed with Corticobasil Ganglionic Degeneration (CBGD),a form of PSP, in January 2. With the help of another therapist we made tags with the cure. PSP and Rare Disease Day logos with green and blue ribbon and passed them out to all the therapists at Holy Cross Hospital with information on PSP and Rare Disease Day. My co- workers have been a great support to me and my family and we all pray one day there will be a cure - because hope matters. My son & I are raising our hands with him in support of him and this very difficult fight against this rare, debilitating disease that most doctors know nothing about. He was diagnosed when he was 2.

Desmoids are a rare form of soft tissue tumors that only 2- 4 out of a million people are diagnosed with annually. There is currently no cure for Desmoids. I truly appreciate the efforts of Rare Disease Day to help raise awareness for so many rare diseases! He is in bone marrow failure from Shwachman- Diamond Syndrome. This is a systematic disease which affects almost every body system of his in some way. He has a feeding tube and is homebound to due a compromised immune system. He also suffers from a rare genetic disease causing bone deformities. Doctors are still working daily to fully diagnose him. My four year old son Jackson was born with a rare disease called systemic mastocytosis. Together we both are fighting two different rare diseases. There is no cure, but prompt diagnosis and intensive physical rehabilitation may bring about remission. Many care providers aren't familiar with this diagnosis, and many insurance plans require patients to fail multiple nerve blocks before they will cover more expensive, but much more effective forms of treatment. This lack of awareness and access to appropriate care is why many patients with CRPS progress to a chronic and highly debilitating form of the disorder. I support Rare Disease Day because awareness is the key to improving the lives of people with CRPS. We hope each person affected by an awful illness sees their suffering disappear as new cures are developed. We also send smiles, positive thoughts and urge you not to lose hope. One day, may you become doctors, nurses, Reiki Masters.. May those who care and advocate for you never tire, and to all you youngsters across the nation, BE STRONG! Collin was diagnosed with Neurofibromatosis in early December 2. We hope that this is the extent of his NF, but we just have to . I have learned of what horrible things NF can do to kids and adults, like tumor growth that can cause blindness, amputations and cancer. He is the life and inspiration of his entire family. He is very small and is connected to his feeding pump via Jtube. MMA Mut- causes Maximus' body to not make something called COA mutase. Because of this, his body only partially breaks down protein. When his body tries to break it down, it stops short of finishing the process and this causes methylmalonic acids to build up and begin to poison him.

Here's to raising awareness for everyone that fights against a lack of knowledge and treatment options! We started chemotherapy and steroids when he was just two months old. We are incredibly lucky to live near doctors who were able to quickly identify and begin treating this rare disease. Our hope is that Rare Disease Day can help get the word out about LCH and the search for a cure. Callum's prognosis is good and his attitude is incredible. His dad tells him that the scars and treatments are just giving him his superpowers, so for each treatment, we dress him in a superhero 'uniform'. He experiences mild hearing loss, mild loss of eye sight & complete kidney failure. He is 2. 9 years old, on dialysis and in search of a kidney transplant. I can't imagine a day without him and want to do everything I can to help him share his story, inspire others and ultimately, find him a kidney match. Thanks to early detection, fantastic doctors, proper treatment and therapy he is a very happy and active 2 year old. His cousins are helping to raise awareness in their high school. Here's a picture of the Ringgold High School students who participated by wearing jeans for genes and blue jean ribbons. Ethan is in the middle being held by his oldest cousin, Zack. For the last four years they have turned for the worst, and I have been diagnosed with Hemiplegic Migraines. I'm a mother of three, and it's not easy to take care of busy kids and of the house. These migraines are not as common, and present all the characteristics of a stroke or a TIA. It's very scary, and it has taken a toll on my life. I cant' work, go to the beach, or take a sun bath. I'm always wondering what will I be able to do today? That is simply horrible. Plus, I even black out, have speech problems and problems moving. It has affected my family too. She gets regular bloodwork done and an ultrasound of the liver once a year. This can affect her lungs and/or liver. Not many people know that they have this until 2. She is now 4 years old and loves gymnastics and likes to read! We got everyone together to take a picture on Rare Disease Day since we are all together to bowl with the kids.
